The EU's Cyber Resilience Act reaches its first live phase: manufacturers of any product with digital elements sold in the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents to ENISA and their national CSIRT - an early warning within 24 hours, a full notification within 72, and a final report within 14 days.

The EU's Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles is expected to vote on extending the Dutch approval of Tesla's FSD (Supervised) to all 27 member states; it needs 15 states with 65% of the EU's population.
